ISSB Consolidates Climate Disclosure Standards Board
What happened
The International Sustainability Standards Board consolidated the Climate Disclosure Standards Board and the Value Reporting Foundation’s Integrated Reporting Framework. The ISSB now develops a global baseline of sustainability-related disclosure standards. It operates alongside the International Accounting Standards Board under the oversight of the IFRS Foundation, bringing the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Standards under its standard-setting approach.

Why it matters
The ISSB issues standards, such as IFRS, which sets general requirements for sustainability-related financial disclosures. These requirements mandate that entities disclose material information regarding sustainability-related risks and opportunities, including details on governance and strategy. This integration supports greater connectivity between financial reporting and sustainability disclosures.
